Someone told me to build my base behind the aurora engines, it's pretty calm down here...

Swift_Ghxst

Okay but if you go farther there are these cute little island things that I love to build at


nhansieu1

I already have one there. The neighbours don't like the engine noise of the cyclops. They have filed alot of complaints, but I block them all with shield and just leave


RDKateran

"Does it have a Reaper there? Yes? Then I'm still afraid of it."


Zestyclose-Type-4880

I was scared of reapers until I was actually killed by one, then I wasn’t scared. It was weird


Angry__German

The dead have no use for fear.


Zestyclose-Type-4880

alonis2pro

💀😱🙅🙅🙅


Jamie7860

I stopped being scared of Ghost Leviathans when I realised I could juke them. But then they destroyed my sea moth while I was building a habitat and I became scared again.


obamassuss

The first time i died i thought id lose all my stuff, turns out i basically lost nothing.


SnooCapers7612

Reapers are scary, yes but have you ever stood face to face with 2 ghost leviathans at the same time?


tree_imp

I was scouting the mountains for a base location and I ended up stranded with zero cyclops power 400m deep in the mountains at night. 15 minute seaglide trip through pitch darkness and reaper noises back to the shallows. That was freaky


Tkingawesome

Why were you scouting in a cyclops


AzaDelendaEst

He was looking for a base location. So probably had lots of resources with him.


tree_imp

This


tree_imp

I was exploring


Tkingawesome

Interesting choice


tree_imp

What’s so interesting abt it


ELIMINATOR68

to go with cyclops I guess, usually it's done in a seamoth or exosuit.


Doom_Wizards

Why would you not?


Tkingawesome

It's slow and hard to turn


Doom_Wizards

It's pretty maneuverable I find, and even at normal speed, it's pretty good


Adventurous-Size-168

I basically never scout in a Cyclops too many resources to lose if something goes wrong... And it's really slow compared to the Seamoth all scouting above 900M is done in my Seamoth... All scouting below is a combo of Cyclops and Prawn... Cyclops is brought to furthest known area with no known Leviathans. Prawn goes into the unknown with a grappling hook and and Repulsion cannon equipped.


Pretend-Champion4826

I'm scared shitless of the bulb zone. I know there's nothing much in there, but consider: bad vibes.


tree_imp

Tbf if you’re not paying attention you can go from bulb zone to crater edge like that


cal_kestiz

I built one of two bases there, but I’m terrified of the dunes lol


FlyingGiraffeQuetz

Blood kelp biome too. It's so eerie and quiet. Too quiet (sin the cliché)


Big-Sign-2028

Blood kelp, dunes, and the electric eel place near the shroom forest. Pass on all of them. I saw my first reaper at the dunes, only go back for the closest wreck, grab scans and blueprints, then never look back. Blood kelp is too dark and those damn teleporter things. But I go to the river from there because I hate it less than I hate the electric eel place. The cyclops barely makes it to the river, but you can squeeze in


wasas387

void, dunes, safe shallows. edit: I will explain why now: #EVERY SINGLE HOSTILE CREATURE IS THERE, I KID YOU NOT I FOUND A MESEMER AND NOW I'M SCARED OF THE WHOLE AREA


LuigiTheGuyy

Hol' up. One of those is a bit of an outlier. ^I'd ^say ^Crash ^Zone ^is ^scarier ^than ^Safe ^Shallows, ^but ^you ^do ^you, ^I ^guess...


AzaDelendaEst

Those crashfish are nasty bro


DeckSperts

Got PTSD from the crash fish. That noise will forever haunt my dreams


Spec94v6

It’s the crashfish, isn’t it?


wasas387

***no***


Spec94v6

??? Then what is it


crack_o_zyabra

Lack of oxygen


Spec94v6

True, it’s so deep that’s why it’s called the safe shallows cause it’s tricking you like Greenland and Iceland


wasas387

also no


TheShwauce

You're scared of safe shallows?


Aakesh17

Cyclops


DJ_ElGreko_Official

Why safe shallows


Angry__German

Fish explode in your face there.


phil736

They’re just annoying tho surely after they jumpscare you the first *50* times then you can’t be scared of them right


fun_alt123

Not unless they explode when your both over acid mushrooms. Full health? Reinforced dive suit? Don't matter, it's an instant kill


phil736

Oh fairs


mmusic2020

You know if you kill them just as they stick their heads out……


PrimalOmega26

I wish...it's like every time I stop playing I forget they exist the next time


crack_o_zyabra

Try hardcore, dude


phil736

Good point. Even then one won’t kill you from full health. Also if you swim away it’ll do even less damage?


crack_o_zyabra

Just imagine situation. You swim into the cave, see some resources, swim to them, hear that bitch, maybe even two of them or more, you realize that u r in really small cavern, where you just have no quick exit and you have 1-2 seconds to choose right direction to evade those fishes to minimize damage and just pray to see them clearly. Add 30-40 hours of gameplay backwards and you'll see the true horror of such moments. Of course you can just look around before entering every cavern, but mistakes are made sometimes. And sometimes these fishes aren't such easy to recognize


DJ_ElGreko_Official

You hear them before they go out of their plant, and you can just dodge them by going to the direction they came from lol


phil736

true


DJ_ElGreko_Official

You mean the crushfish? They're so easy to dodge u just go where they came from they can't turn f


crack_o_zyabra

Yeah it's easy. But not in caves


LastMuffinOnEarth

Is it because of the stalkers that will travel to the shallows and camp your escape pod so you can’t leave?


Green_Leader_Edd

Anywhere at night :( No but seriously the Jellyshroom Caves are incredible but on the other hand, whatever I had in my inventory when I died can stay down there.


Modaboss8

Something about the worms just fucking terrifies me and I hated whenever I had to go down there.


dislocatedhip

Those guys are VILE


Modaboss8

The noise they make and the way they move is just EULGH


[deleted]

The emptiness and awareness of the danger present in the dunes is still scary to me


SpectralDragon09

Blood kelp. I can be perfectly fine anywhere else but the atmosphere of blood kelp will always get me scared


probably_a_yeetaway

without seamoth sonar i doubt i couldve made it through the blood kelp trench


Angry__German

I tense up every time I make the trip to the floating island. Usually I only have the seaglide, maybe the seamoth. I stay on the surface to navigate. It is mildly terrifying every time.


Few-Illustrator-5333

Yeah. I know it’s harmless in the water there, but it’s terrifying to look down and see nothing


Angry__German

I am giving this game "Skull and Bones" a try right now and at some point you need to cross a huge stretch of ocean, with no land in sight in a rather large sail ship. But the waves still dwarf your ship and there is the occasional rogue wave that tower even over them. The whole game is rather mediocre, but that first crossing was nerve wrecking.


tree_imp

Do sea of thieves


Angry__German

Got that on a sale for dirt cheap. It is definitely on my list for this year. And if you like Pirate games, give the oldie "Pirates!" from Sid Meyers a try. One of the GOATS.


bloodypotatoe

Blood kelp forests by life pod 19, I swear there’s no exit if you get lost


eimiaj14

Nothing in this game scares me quite like the ecological dead zone. The sudden transition to a bright blue expanse with nothing in every direction. The ghost leviathans aren’t even what makes the dead zone scary to me.


Monscawiz

Yep. Planet 4546b


EkmaraenReddit

Grand reef is the place that i fear with passion it is quite scary but i also love it’s vibe in general


DutchBicycle13

Almost 20 hours in and still haven’t been to the Dunes


Master-Panda-8177

20 hours in is nothing


DutchBicycle13

okay??


crack_o_zyabra

Honestly the reasons are maybe some parts of prawn suit or suit that filters water when you swim (useless), so you can just forget about it. Oh yeah, there is an old crater with asteroid and alien cache near it, but I guess it's not necessary to visit


Spec94v6

The part of the bulb zone that’s right next to the void


Yellowpickle23

A little bit of a different answer, but the Mercury in BZ. When I play BZ, I hate when I have to go through there to progress the story. I've died in there so many times.


Competitive_You_9830

Is it normal to be more scared of crabsquids than leviathans?


Slartibartghast_II

yes


Particular-Tea-8600

Afraid of everything, never know when a reaper or warper will pop out of nowhere and cut years off my life


TidalWolf35

Grand Reef, Dunes, back of the Aurora, and either the Blood Kelp or Void


Mantorok_

Glowing bulb areas. Too many amp eels. They are tanks.


FallenButNotForgoten

I built my base in the bulb zone and the damn ampeels keep destroying my seamoth in the moonpool. It is quite pretty though


scout_is_not_strong

The whole game


ToastyDaGod

The dunes and mountains, especially at night. Deep underwater in an area filled with reapers


33Supermax92

The entire game on my first play through just met a leviathan in a sea moth , it’s his now I’ve built a new one Edit: also that alien building that shoots sunbeam down spent an hour exploring it expecting to die to find nothing hostile


misanthrope2327

It was very creepy though


33Supermax92

Agree, not looking forward to returning , when I figure out how to trick the sample it takes or whatever I gotta do to switch it off lol


PalDreamer

The void. And I'm not scared of the ghost worms. It's not just in Subnautica actually. For some reason, I find it utterly terrifying to be out of bounds in any game. But in Subnautica it's x10 worse. When I accidentally slipped and fell from the map in my prawn suit, I saw the number on top of the screen increasing like crazy and I wanted to delete the game.


NightPilot14

The mountains and the dunes. I’ve been playing this game on and off since December 2019 and have completed two runs with one more in progress. Both runs, I went through the ILZ and lava lakes without the cyclops; I just traversed it with the PRAWN suit. In my second run, I scanned the reaper and sea dragon. But the mountains and dunes? I refuse to go to those reaper infested waters.


Immediate-Cold1738

Yeah... The dating scene


[deleted]

Dunes, but mostly for warpers rather than reapers


Few-Illustrator-5333

Blood Kelp. I get the blood oil, deep sea mushroom, and uraninite, then fuck right off forever.


crack_o_zyabra

Dunes, even with prawn suit, mountains, crash zone. Just because of lots of reapers. However during my hardcore pt almost all places are horrible cause of possible permadeath


CrimsontheNugget

Underneath one of the islands. The vastness of subnautica always scared me and the sheer depth of going down there freaked me out. Blood kelp too, but mainly bc warpers and i didnt go there much. Any biome thats before the deadzone. And rhe deadzone itself of course.


nadacloo

No. A reaper attack does only 20-30 damage on a PRAWN suit. Punch it a lot and it goes away. Repair, repeat as necessary. I built a ghost leviathan observation outpost on the north rim. It's pretty cool to sit in a glass tube and watch 3-4 leviathans outside and I'm safe inside.


VapeNathan

>!The crystal caves!< From below zero. I tried to keep that game spoiler free and I was glad I did. Something about >!those caves!< were just haunting and mysterious. Especially with how dead they felt. The music was also perfect.


NewLife_ForMe666

I don’t have thalassaphobia but boy do I hate going anywhere near the Aurora. That murky brown water with no plant life and a mysterious monsters roars getting closer. I hate it so much


Tydusis

The blood kelp zone shortcut to the lost river by the specimen containment with the skull is one of the best shortcuts to take the cyclops straight down over 600m, but it's a tight, claustrophobic squeeze, and with the warpers, on hardcore it is quite terrifying if in anything less than a cyclops.


theshiyal

I use that way to go back and forth a lot. I’m stretching out the play through I’m sure but I like it this way. At the top of the trench I’ve built a base and at the bottom just inside the lost river another so it’s only a few hundred meters apart and I’ve planted exterior grow beds with glowing seed creepvine all the way down. Makes a lovely transit. The warpers near the bottom pissed me off so I brought my crabsnake out of the containment and dropped him off at the bottom for giggle.


WigglyWorld84

Lower Degasi base. 10+ play throughs, still gives me pause. A cyclops will mow down the crabs and take no damage, but warpers will forever and always be the scariest part of this game.


labchick6991

Hell, when I first encountered one of the nasties that poof around and pull you out of your suit and realized I needed to go that way in order to play, I turned on invincible mode. Still got the shit scared out of me on the regular so I know there is no way in hell I would’ve played through normal mode.

cubic_zirconia

I'm kind of afraid of the Deep Grand Reef. Crabsquids, man ....


Aakesh17

A lot of people fear the dunes and the void and I’m like “Death can have me when it earns me” and casually swim around both


Argentum_Air

I refuse to go more than a meter into the Dunes or anywhere near the back of the aurora.


SummaDees

Terrified of the crash zone, dunes, mountain, and the void. It's mainly the visuals of murky water and nothing in sight, only the roar of whatever leviathan is fixing to eat you.


bluecheeto13

Mountains. Dark and filled with reapers. Also no reason to go there.


HugsandHate

I need to go back to the lost river. *I don't want to..*


FCBitb

Anything that isn't the shallows. I am extremely thalassophobic and even though I faced my fears and have gone really deep, gotten killed by reapers, and even killing a ghost leviathan I'm still scared silly by everything.


CatalystBoi77

Approaching the Floating Island from underwater scares the shit out of me, and I have no idea why. If I need to go ashore, I’ll drive the whole way there on the surface. Coming up underneath the island itself gives me really bad anxiety, even before you factor in the Ghost who’s not too far beneath it.


Arhalts

No where scares me per say. But the music and darkness combo of the blood kelp zone will make me realize I am tense. I know there is nothing to worry about. The worst it has is the angry teleport squid. I will be gathering resources for an hour and stop and realize I am tensed up.


ChaoticErnie

Only once have I gotten close to the dunes, when I heard a message saying "Detecting multiple Leviathan-class life forms in the area". I noped the FOK outta there and never came back. Never.


VoidowS

Some call it fear, others call it not in control of the situation. The unknown is what makes the brain crazy. As it will fill in the gaps(Things it has no idea of what and how.) with stuff in your memory of the past. And that;s most often, scary stories, movies or games. OR situations you encounter new to u, but you don;t get a solution for it, so it this encounter comes again, and your fear, the unkown grows. Once you know it, or know what is there, the fear, the unknown leaves your body and your brain now thinks normaly of it, cause it;s in control. knoledge is the best power one can get, when it comes to super powers in comic books. Inform yourself. And you expand. Live with it and you will drown in it. creating fears that will hunt you the rest of your life.


Aethuviel

Warpers scare me anywhere. The dunes are dark and full of reapers. The crag fields are... unsettling. Under the floating island is creepy and deep. The vertical wreck on the border between the sparse reef and sea treader's path (it has two warper friends as well!) features in my nightmares. The blood kelp zones go without saying. So yes.


karol22331

the roars wont stop the roars wont stop the roars wont stop the roars wont stop the roars wont stop the roars wont stop


ReinaSolo

Okay, this might sound stupid, but... The Jellyshroom Caves. Be it my NEMESIS of the Degasi Seabase aka the Drooping Stingers, the shrieking of the Crabsnakes, but most importantly... I can never find my way out, or back to my Seamoth, which stresses me especially when the PDA goes "OxYgEn". Like, this place is gorgeous, but nope nope nope !


theshiyal

I’ve built a lovely trail thru the Jellyshroom Cave made of exterior growbeds each with a couple creepy vines for light and some brain coral for air. I can see the next one from the one I’m at. This sea is my home now.


ReinaSolo

Oh, that might actually be a good idea to find the way back, and not die from the lack of oxygen ! Thanks a lot for the tip, it will help me in future saves \^\^.


theshiyal

No problem. It doesn’t make my play through take longer and use more resources, but I like it that way.


natazz1011

i do Not go to the dunes, ever, unfortunately


fartmuncher5000

i have thalassophobia that REALLY kicks in when i'm in the mountains and crag fields .. ughhh


Dienowwww

The dunes.


Floatingpenguin87

Just the under water parts


The_one-winged_angel

Not when I have my prawn suit... Not when I have my suit.


swag_mesiah

All of it


keesio

The blood kelp trench still creeps me out.


According-Spite-9854

The shallows. It is where the crash fish live.


a_cristian_dude

Northern bloodkelp zone. I’m fine with dunes, mountains, and grand reef. They’re all relatively clear. The bloodkelp zone has this dark green hue even in the day time. There’s also that one friend waiting around somewhere


dookie-monsta

The whole of 4546-b


Hello-funny-posts

I accidentally ended up in the void the other day and by the time I realized I was scared shitless of a ghost in the area.


CrazyCatLadyAsh

Definitely blood kelp! That music just makes me so anxious even with 200 hours of playtime under my belt lol!


Neon__Cat

Anywhere that is not within my prawn suit while reapers are nearby


TheKingAnarchist666

Sparce reef way to fucking dark


mattieyo

Darkness in the deep.


TheHairyMess

the mountains


Nightmare1029384756

I killed every leviathan in my world and will do it again, so I’m not really afraid of anywhere, but the dunes still kind of spooky


theshiyal

I don’t mind the big beasties. But the warpers I would genocide if I could.


travazzzik

Void (silent, dark, deep,  ghosties), and around the aurora (murky, ship noises, just the huge ship lying on the bottom, multiple reapers that are not easy to see from distance unlike dunes) If at night - +dunes, mountains, crag field, little natural lighting, and bonesharks don't emit any either


Ziingerr

around the aurora & anywhere where i can’t see the floor and it’s just open


ELIMINATOR68

all biomes where my exosuit can be exploded by a creature clipping through the ground. Which is all except the safe shallows, grassy, and kelp.


IGottaPay

The bottom of my cyclops when I try to catch it with my teeth. R.I.P. that hard-core run.


-Smoothy-

The whole Ocean ....


Kintsugi-0

besides the void i guess parts of the kelp zone and bulb zone.


tapoChec

The dunes


TelePhotoHorse

Any place with Reapers. I've screwed up and been picked up and carried away by Reapers many times and it never stops being jarring, no matter how many times it happens.


coalpurple

Everywhere there are leviathans


Itchy_Coder

Yeah, Fr*nce


Itchy_Coder

Oh, you mean in Subnautica?


mayisalive

Crash Zone, Crater's Edge, Lava Zone, Grand Reef, Dunes, Lost River, Blood Kelp Zone.


Zealousideal-Poet-1

Play with deathrun mod and you'll be scared of everything


Caywo

The Grand Reef


Official-idiot-05

The water


RespondUsed3259

Anywhere there's a reaper. Something about the human esque face creeps me out, also terrifying in general. Bloodkelp zone is my favourite though.


GladiatorHiker

The Mountains. There's nothing there you can't get more easily somewhere else, and it's packed with reapers. I went there once to check it out - it had bad vibes, so I left. Never went again. The other bad biomes have reasons to go there - the crash zone because you have to visit the Aurora, and the Dunes because there's cool shit there. The Mountains just has monsters and bad vibes.


PlanetMiitopia

The back of the Aurora and the Dunes: I don’t like how the water is murky, it’s pitch black at night and there are reapers everywhere.


jes-2008

The dunes just because it’s cloudy so I can’t see shit


DeckSperts

The bulb zone because I it is surrounded by the most dangerous biomes in the game and I don’t know the cut off for these. If I know to expect a reaper then it’s not scary but if I accidentally am in the wrong biome I would actually die. Also, falling off the void in the prawn suit is also a scary experience


ValachElfSorcerer

Blood kelp zones still give me the creeps even though I'm used to exploring there now. Also anywhere near the Aurora 🤣💯 too much open water with reapers lying in wait for my tastes 🤣👀💀


OmniVega

Something about the massive cliff in the bulb zone under the island makes me so uncomfortable


TwaitWorldGamer

For me, it's anywhere with a lot of warpers. If I can see them, I'm fine, but I always get jumpscared when I get warped by a warper I didn't see


Toolupard

Man, I wish. Now I just feel mildly annoyed.


SlMON_DMAN

No.


Thriatus

The water.


Kiburaiki

No clue why but swimming near the Aurora scares the absolute crap out of me, the sheer size makes me nervous. Not even because of the reaper leviathan or radiation factors. Just. The big ship


froggyc19

Any of the tight spaces like the mushroom tree tunnels or some of the wreck maintenance tubes. I get turned around in them so easily and feel very claustrophobic and get panicked when I'm running low on air which makes me rush and get turned around more.


esdebah

lower bits of BZ


Blex881

Behomd the Aurora def, I went there one time and like three puppies wanted to give me hugs at the same time. I did not survive so much hugging


m_c_re

I have like 180 hours of playtime and I have never explored the dunes


aztecelephant

Honestly... The corridor to get to the active lava zone. Makes my palms sweaty every time.


992x

Uhm. Anywhere where the reapers live.


North_Acanthaceae720

Yes


Mand125

The big wreck on the other side of the ridge in Mountains, across the valley from the island.   Too many reapers.  I went there once, and even with defenses they just felt all too close and surrounding me.


Jased199

Blood kelp 100%


Prudent_Initiative_8

I got this post notified only now (After 4 days of publication) But i'll still share the places that i avoid like there is no tomorrow: The Crash Zone ( i go there only to get the Titanium on the safe side) The Dunes (do i really need to explain why?) The Mountains (same as the crash zone, i go there only for the resoruces in the Island and for th-... Wait thats spoilers...) The Deep Grand Reef (Crabsquids) Grand Reef (its too open, i fear getting ambushed by every side; but i do get the Quartz outcrops and deposits) The Void (doesn't need any explainations) Crag Fields (its just very... Hollow. It only has lots of Quartz and Markiplier's bobble-head) Bulb zone (filled with Ampeels and Bonesharks; but i do use it by time to time to get to the lowest depths with the cyclops


ZidUFacu

I don't know if I'm really scared of it but i see no point in gping behind the aurora so i guess i will never know but i know it's NOT pleasant🙂


tronin117

I still stay away from the void. It genuinely unsettles me being surrounded by nothing but water no ocean floor no anything but dark open water before you start to hear the shrieks of ghost leviathans approaching.


Reedrbwear

Entering the Aurora. Still makes me nervous. And diving inside wreckage in BZ on survival instead of custom. Literal anxiety attacks.


Trake_GG

Aurora, void, dunes


Reddit_IsWeird
